首次到宏茂桥狮子乐龄之友协会，我的最初印象它只不过是一个慈善团体，一个提供乐龄人士消遣的场所。可是它逐渐地改变了我的想法。它不仅为乐龄人士提供物质上的需要，也给了他们在人生最后一段路程中所需要的东西，那就是关爱。
当他们聚在一起的时候，大家都会彼此嘘寒问暖。这不只填满了心灵中的空虚，也让生活有了色彩。生活对他们来说不会再是那么单调、乏味。有了新的生活目标和执著，乐龄人士会开心地走完生命中最后的里程碑。

在这次的外景拍摄，我们受益良多。此行不仅学到拍摄技巧，还让我们懂得了不少做人的道理。
当我们到 Ling Kwang Youth Centre采访一些做义工的学生时，我们深感羞愧。他们从繁忙的课业中抽出宝贵的时间，定期为有需要的中、小学生做免费补习。这种奉献于社会的精神值得我们学习。
最令我们感动的是一位正在服兵役的男生，他还可以抽出时间来为需要的人补习数学。有一次，他的学生无法完成他给的数学习题。当他问学生为什么不会做时，学生回答说：“没有老师在身旁，我不会做。” 说着说着，他自己也有些哽咽。我们听了，都被他的话感染了。
我想，一个人要懂得饮水思源，回馈社会。因此，我们在这里向那些无私奉献的人致敬。

When we first arrived at the centre, there were not many people there as it had been raining earlier. Luckily, one of our interviewees was still there. So, we the producers were introduced to her. It was slightly awkward at first though, as we were not very prepared to interview anyone at the moment. Fortunately, we were able to think of some relevant questions to ask her. However, I feel that we could have done a lot better had we prepared first. Well, that is a lesson learnt to help us the next time.
After that, we went around the centre and tried talking to some of the students using the computers. That, however, was not very eventful because most of them were engaged in the games they were playing such as Counterstrike. By that time, the tuition lessons had started. So, we spent some time interviewing the two volunteer tutors who were there. I feel that we were able to learn some important things from them such as the joy they experience to be able to help others.
As both of their tutoring lessons ended at 6pm, we had some time to discuss the questions and rehearse our interview. We were rather well-prepared by the time 6pm came around. Thus, the interview went quite well. Unfortunately, it started raining just as we were finishing. In a way, we were fortunate that it did not start raining earlier. But it was unfortunate because another interviewee had just arrived. As a result, we had to interview him inside, which was not as comfortable an atmosphere as outside in the fresh air.
At the end of the day, I feel that it was a very exciting experience. We were able to learn quite a lot about Ling Kwang Youth Centre, the services offered there and the people who go there. I look forward to the next time we go back there as I think that there is much more we can learn there that will benefit both ourselves and the documentary that we are filming.
